This sweet pic that tyff meacham] snapped during our family photos made me a little emotional when I saw it.
The last two years have been BIG for me in the spiritual and emotional expansion department. One important piece of my journey has been slowly but surely (and still daily) reclaiming my body, my temple, as MINE.
Being able to work through a lifetime of conditioning that looking a certain way is what makes a woman “worthy” in our society has been so expansive for me and my family. It’s been so interesting because visually, people may see me and assume I’m further away from my faith (or fitness goals. or whatever other label they want to stick on me😂) than I used to be, but in all reality, I’m closer to my Self and my God than I’ve ever been. It’s been a WILD ride!
My heart and soul have been so happy this last year as I’ve truly learned to not only tolerate my body, but to LOVE and celebrate HER.
Being able to love every roll, dress myself in what feels HAPPY to me, embrace the skin I’m in; and adding some extra, permanent “Mally-ness” ink to myself has connected me to my Self in a way that’s been lost for a bit.
My beautiful, sacred, mortal container for my wise, infinite soul is meant for me and my Co-Creators to use in the best way possible on this earth journey. To love. To serve. To have joy. To experience and feel it all! And we are doing just that! Thank you again to tyff meacham] for capturing how I’ve been feeling in this photo😘.
(As a side note; I always am getting asked what my tattoos mean… I have a combination of flowers that are meaningful, a hummingbird, asymmetrical butterfly, a sun and moon (a hundred different reasonings behind those!), a lotus, and my girls birth years. They all remind me to stay connected to the things that matter most! I’ve tagged where I’ve gone for most of my tattoos in the photo for those wondering. 🤘🏼)
